Clearly, moving to Moto2 after having had a period in MotoGP is the worst choice you can make in a career. Yonny Hernandez has since passed into oblivion and Sam Lowes, who nevertheless excelled in this category only two years ago, cannot erase his reputation as a driver who is falling. Worse, he maintains it. And Hector Barbera ? Not better…
Besides, if we talk about him, it is not for his results, but because he has just suffered the wrath of the officials. The fault of a Moto2 race at Mugello and more particularly of turn 3 where he got stuck with Nagashima. Both men ended up on the ground. And it is the pilot of Sito Pons, whose teammate Baldassarri played for victory against Olive tree, who was held responsible for the accident.
In fact, in two weeks in Catalonia, Hector Barbera will return six places on the starting grid after qualifying for the Grand Prix in Barcelona. He is nineteenth in the championship with ten points. His best qualification in six races was a thirteenth place in France and an eleventh position in the race, again at Le Mans.
